Chapter V: 8:02 About modern car design & Giugiaro fanboism
Chapter VI: Carwalk - 10:38 Subaru Impreza WRX STI A Line, 12:23 Mitsubishi Lancer GSR Premium Evolution X, 14:53 Nissan Skyline Coupe 370GT SP, 16:15 Jaguar XKR Coupe, 17:47 Maserati Coupe Cambiocorsa (also known as 4200GT), 19:11 Toyota Prius Hybrid
Chapter VII: 21:01 Itasha - more than just decals: safety drive, nice itasha life! (original quote)
Chapter VIII: 25:00 Exploring Japan by car: there’s way more than ‘just’ mega cities
I’m back with another planning video and this time it’s all about cars. I’ll talk about a lot of viable options and the reasoning why I picked the vehicles on display in the first place. I think that turning one of these cars into an itasha, donning colorful anime or manga artworks, will be a good match for both my personality and the plans that I have in mind. While there are itashas outside of Japan, it’s still the only place where you don’t have to be afraid of costly abuse. Using one of these as an every day car? Only in Japan.
I really dig the bustling metropole areas of Japan, especially at night time. But then again it would be a big blunder to miss out on the incredible country side of Japan with it’s beautiful nature. The country itself isn’t that big, so you can experience the stark contrast between megalopolis and relaxing country side without the need to be on the road for several days at a time.
Where ever I go, I’ll have a camera and thus the YouTube community accompany me.
